WOLF MOTHER

Despite surviving and thriving for thousands of years, the endemic coastal wolves of the Pacific Northwest are under threat. Unsurprisingly, it is humans that are driving them into scarcity.

Since discovering one of the largest aggregations of whale sharks in the world, great progress has been made in protecting these giants of Isla Mujeres. But there is much more work to be done, and we must all play our part.

There have been fewer than 60 confirmed sightings of the ornate eagle ray, often referred to as the unicorn of the sea. Is this species emblematic of the beauty and mystery of the ocean, as well as the threats we pose to it?

The most ocean-friendly nation on earth

When it comes to marine conservation, we have a lot to learn from Palau’s historical traditions. However, implemented conservation strategies require all nations to commit to a more sustainable future, before it’s too late.
